eurogamer.net review
It’s one of many finishing touches to a game that started life as what sounded suspiciously like a fund-raising stopgap conceived on the back of an overdrawn chequebook and blurted out during a conference call. Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood is anything but that, however – it’s one of the best games of 2010.

Brotherhood lacks that generational leap we saw from Assassin’s Creed to Assassin’s Creed II, but it more than makes up for that with a full-bodied single-player experience teeming with interesting gameplay additions and a risky multiplayer component. Even more surprising than the single-player experience is the addition of a competitive multiplayer game that, through some downright acrobatic contrivances, manages to make the cat-and-mouse core of the single-player work with live opponents. For fans of the series Brotherhood is no optional sidebar; this is as significant an entry as either of its predecessors. It’s also about as fun as Assassin’s Creed has ever been

Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood also includes multiplayer for the first time in the series’ history. The public servers aren’t up in time to properly evaluate them for this review, but the sessions we played before the game’s release were quite fun. Most of the modes have players all tracking each other through levels filled with NPCs. And since each player looks like a common NPC, it can be tricky to tell who is and who isn’t an assassin. Having multiple assassins in a level all trying to kill each other without looking like assassins really tests your hunting and hiding skills to the limit. The single player portion of the game is still the main attraction, but multiplayer is a nice bonus.

It seemed to be an impossible task for Ubisoft to turn around a year after the release of Assassin’s Creed II and deliver such a polished follow-up to a game that many critics were calling one of 2009’s best titles. Yet, against all odds, Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood exists in 2010, and it not only lives up to the hype, but it manages to completely outclass its predecessor. Brotherhood is a game that Assassin’s Creed fans simply cannot afford to miss, and one of best games this year.

Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood is about as far from being a cynical quick-fix cash cow as you can get. It’s every bit as detailed, beautiful and sublime as its predecessor, but with the added bonus of multiplayer, which in itself is effortlessly compulsive and huge fun. If multiplayer isn’t your bag though, Brotherhood still has a typically expansive Assassin’s Creed single player experience to get your claws into, with plenty of new mechanics, toys and tools of the trade – the crossbow for instance – to make life as a master assassin as rewarding as it’s ever been.

Story-wise, Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood might not make a great entry point into the series, but it definitely is the most fun experience the franchise has yet offered. Here’s a recommendation from a guy who kind of hates the Assassin’s Creed series — buy this game.

Filled with new gameplay, storylines, mechanical improvements, and multiplayer, Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood is far more than an expansion. Though Brotherhood lacks some of the sense of discovery and newness that characterized Assassin’s Creed II, if you look past the surface similarities you’ll uncover a host of new thrills. The series remains one of the most exciting properties in video games, and Brotherhood fills an essential step in the plot as the conspiracy-laden story continues.

Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood isn’t a sequel, but it’s got enough content to be one. Brotherhood isn’t simply a multiplayer expansion pack, but the multiplayer is good enough to have been a low-priced stand-alone or an addon to download over XBL or PSN. While there are a few items that unbalance the game, there is so much new under the sun that works well (recruiting, renovating, better lip synch and graphic work, etc.) that you can’t discount this title. Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood has everything you loved and hated about AC2, but it has shined up the positives to a sheen I didn’t expect. Toss in the fantastic multiplayer with its persistent experience and leveling system and you have a solid and worthy successor to an already great series. If you haven’t already – sneak your way over to Amazon and pick up a copy!

Brotherhood’s success lies in taking what made AC2 work and simultaneously making it more coherent and more cinematic. It’s an exercise in perfecting what you’ve already got working; you’re not going to find much in the way of completely new material, but this is a superior game to its predecessor and a solid bridge to the next entry in the series.

While its story falls short of the bar set by Assassin’s Creed II, Brotherhood packs in more than enough new content and improvements to make up for it. It’s not the best of the series, but it’s still an essential piece of the ever-expanding AC puzzle.

If you didn’t play the last game, you’ll have absolutely no idea what’s going on during the single-player campaign. At the same time, there’s so much new content here — the multiplayer component in particular absolutely needs to be played by anyone with a current-gen console and a high-speed internet connection.

Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood for the Xbox 360 is great bang for the buck. The lengthy single player mode combined with varied gameplay elements make this game a solid addition to the Assassin’s Creed franchise. Not to mention the addition a new multiplayer mode gives the game some extra shelf life. While the game does not make any significant leaps over its predecessor, there is still plenty here for fans of the franchise to enjoy and for those willing to take the Assassin’s Creed plunge.

There is joy in leaping across the Roman rooftops, taking in the grand sights in front of you and realizing that it is all your own playground. Stealing a combatant’s spear from him and impaling him on it is a brutal pleasure. And the little touches–the way Claudia meets Ezio’s stare with one of her own, or the fluid animations that characterize your agile maneuvers–are constant reminders of what makes these games so enchanting. This may not be Assassin’s Creed III, but like Ezio’s smirk, Brotherhood is too irresistible to ignore.

AC: Brotherhood is a quality outing, and the chaps at Ubisoft ought to be very happy with what they have achieved. The game released in New Zealand today, and with titles like this we always feel a little like we’re shouting in the dark. The market’s core aren’t reading NZGamer.com, after all. They’re already calling on some new friends to dish out a bit of aerial widowmaking.

Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood started out shaky, but built into a great game with quite a bit to offer for AC fans. Series newcomers will be a little confused story wise, but they’ll have the benefit of experiencing the game’s combat at its highest level; the combat might be a secondary system in the AC series, but at least in Brotherhood it’s delivered in a

Brotherhood really looks the part, with a step up in the graphics department – particularly on PS3, and a massive and varied city to explore. It also introduces an innovative multiplayer suite, for which the team(s) should be applauded. At the end of the day, it depends what you’re looking for. If you’re new to Assassin’s Creed, this is a solid entry, but picking up the threads of the convoluted story may be a challenge. If you’re an experienced assassin, on the other hand, expect to tread pretty similar ground to the last title.

As for the multiplayer side, players can choose from eight assassin types and a pair of weapons before being cut loose in disguise somewhere around Rome, tasked with locating and taking down a player-character who is also hunting you. It will be interesting to see how the dynamics of this play out once the servers fill up, but it’s something that could easily evolve into its own MMO, given time and a few more playing modes.
For now, it’s the single player campaign – filled with stunning cut-scenes, music and voice acting – that prove the most compelling reasons to play this excellent sequel. On this evidence, I can’t wait for the next one.
